Misogynoir on Social Media 21:36

17h ago21:36

21:36

While there is no such thing as a "safe space" on the internet, the fact that two highly visible Black women content creators have been run off social media for the same thing - misogynoir and vitriolic abuse. Misogynoir in media has always existed however the fact it is increasingly prevalent on social media speaks volumes to the ways many use soc…

Why Don't People Say 'Hi' Anymore & The Loss of Third Spaces 22:54

17h ago22:54

22:54

A conversation was sparked on TikTok about the decline in customer service and why people don't say "hi" anymore which snowballed into a larger conversation about the sharp decline of third spaces, loss of village, community building, and the loneliness epidemic. This conversation is more nuanced than allowed on TikTok so I wanted to do a longer vi…

1y ago28:29

28:29

2022 was a challenging year filled with beautiful highs and frustrating lows. If I could describe my 2022 in one word, it would be "burnout". I thrived during the lockdown pandemic days. Going back to "normal" felt like a giant rollercoaster I did NOT want to be on and it really threw me off balance. It made it hard to focus and the things that bec…

Ya girl is a Lululemon Ambassador! To say I am honored, excited, still somewhat shocked, grateful, proud, and humbled all at the same time would be an understatement.

Thoughts on Finding Your Why 33:21

33:21

In my last episode I talked about being your own goals and how important being aligned with your why will help you achieve your goals however about 15 minutes into the episode I realized that was kind of like putting the cart before the horse. None of it will make no sense if you don’t know what your why is. If you don’t even know how to find it. S…

Nearly a month into the new year, how are your resolutions and goals coming along? Keyword - YOUR!

"It's just a preference." Right? Wrong. How many times have you heard that tired phrase that has been used to normalize, dismiss, and downplay racism, prejudice, and bias, particularly when it comes to Black women? It's time to have an honest conversation about how this "preference" excuse is over 500 years of conditioning. Conditioning that has a …

6 years ago I got certified as a spinning instructor and have been teaching since 2016. The rest is history! Well not history but the present. It’s been 5 years of fun, realizations, connections, tears, highs, lows, yeses, and nos so I’d say a look back is in order. Let’s get into it!

3y ago20:20

20:20

In last week’s episode we discussed internal self-awareness. Because none of us exists in a vacuum, we need to be mindful of the ripple effects our behavior has on others which begs the question in the title - am I choosing to be a blessing for others? Today we’re talking external self-awareness which boils down to being aware of the impact our wor…

31:33

I've talked about this before in a previous podcast, probably about a year ago at this point, this idea of "returning to normal". Normal wasn't working and I genuinely think the desire to run back to broken systems, burnout, unhealthy behaviors, stressful situations, and toxic environments is a missed opportunity to reflect and act upon everything …

It’s nothing new that white privilege runs rampant in many spaces including work environments which makes them very toxic environments for Black people and BIPOC however it’s very rare to witness as explicit of an example as we did last week.

Oh wow, say that five times fast!

What do you hear when people say, “I don’t want to get political” when the topic of civil rights, equality, and human rights come up?
